Wax Poetry and Art presents Australia Poetry Magazine.
Australia Poetry Magazine presents the Australia Poetry Contest and the Inspired by Australia project.
Poetry is catharsis, philosophy, and curiousity.
Poetry is scientific, humorous, and surreal.
Poetry is the story of the great and the small,
the triumph and the struggle – the record of our life and time.
Poetry is all of these things, and more.
Australia Poetry Magazine is committed to reflecting the true scope of poetry and by doing so, to bringing more poets and more readers into the global poetry community.
Australia Poetry Magazine is a qualifying publication for the Poetry World Cup.
